Windows 7: MSE not performing as expected

I have been using MSE for over a year and find it to be quite effective. Lately, however, the automatic updates and scheduled scans seem to have been disabled - I now have to do manual process for both - it isn't a big deal but I kind of like the automatic nature of these processes. I have searched this forum but don't really see any answers to this. Help would be most appreciated. Thank you very much.

things to check:
windows update | change settings | set as shown and click on OK

All settings changed to your recommendations but still no deal. Yes, my system is always on for the scan time I have set. One person says, uncheck item about starting the scheduled scan when pc is on but not in use. The other says to check it. I have tried it both ways and still no deal. Guess I'll have to do manual updates and scans - thanks for input.

Here is a screenshot of recent mse updates. The ones from the eleventh thru today I did manually. The ones before that were automatic. I am up to date on all Windows security updates as well. I do not see any errors. They all say "successful". I am using V4 of mse. Thanks again.

Well, interestingly enough, today I did as suggested and downloaded from the WU screen. About 20 minutes later, the scheduled scan started. I don't really understand the difference from updating thru MSE screen or the WU screen. Also, did that WU download do something to trigger the automatic scan?? Is this what I have to do every day? I don't mind but it does seem easier to do it thru the MSE process.Thanks again for all help from all - I will mark this as solved, yes???

Performing an UninstallI have a workstation that was originally a member of a network. The computer has several programs that now cannot be "uninstalled" because there is no access to the network.
Is there a way to uninstall without being able to access the network where it was originally installed?

New PC is not performing as it should....Hi there everyone
I was recently (just before Xmas) treated to a new PC (See specs below). It runs well, I can load, play and do everything at a local level. But when trying to do anything on the net it won't have it. At first I thought it was a firewall type issue as I tried installing and...

I am trying Windows 7 now and it's a throw back to the early days of Vista. My Windows 7 system is exhibiting extreme instability. In particular the keyboard and mouse drivers for my Microsoft...
